Missed quizzes or tests will be excused only for the following reasons:

• Participation in a UT-sponsored activity including athletics and UT-sponsored organizations. You must notify me one week before the event.
• The event is in conflict with a religious observance. You must notify me by the 12th class day.
• A medical emergency. You must provide me with a health provider's note within 24 hours.

Projects

Projects must be done in pairs using a technique called pair programming. One solution will be turned in for the pair.

You can not partner with the same person more than once. You must post your partnership on the Google Group.

Each student can do one project individually during the term

Two less than satisfactory ratings by partners will result in a one letter-grade drop in your final grade.

A project that does not produce the correct output from the provided input within the specification will count as zero.

Projects must run in the CS Labs.

For every day that a project is late, one fifth of the points will be lost, so that in five days it will be worth zero. Corrupt or incomplete submissions will count as one day late.

The grader will not provide the solution to the project. The grader will grade, comment, return, and post the grade of the project within one week. The grade can only be disputed within the following one week. All grade disputes must be made in writing by e-mail to the grader with supporting evidence or arguments.
